I try to avoid getting stuck with metaphysics. That said, everyone asks themselves “what’s the purpose of it all?” If I’m going be truly transparent, I have to post my metaphysical rambling (even if I don’t think it’s that useful in itself). If anything, this rambling leads to a good understanding of what I should do when I don’t know what I should do. That’s why I’ll never schedule a time for metaphysical rambling. This stuff kind of just happens, and it hopefully gets me out of it as quickly as possible. So, with that said, here is my rambling Notion:
World, watch out, move- Catch me if you can!
That question will never be fully answered. The best I can do is start jotting down random notes as I work toward a realization of the ethical business. This notion page will be where I store all these notes from random ideas and probably useless metaphysical ruminations.
Here is what’s currently on my mind when I think of an “Ethical” business:
Diversity ++ Openness ++ Stability ++ Consistency ++ [Limited Wealth] ++ Accessibility ++ Consensus
“Ethical” businesses are often called
“True” ++ “Good” ++ “Right” ++ “Correct” ++ “Positive” ++ “Valuable” ++ “Noteworthy”
Philosophers since Aristotle have shown us those terms are “normative” — we know what we want because society says we do.
Therefore, the first question to ask is: What society do I service? (Axiom 1)
That question gives the business owner their sample group. A business owner must know with confidence the size of the sample group — the “P” value of every conclusion speaks to the probability that a conclusion is correct. (2) The greater the P value the greater the certainty.
Of course we must understand that mathematical “positive” correctness only functions within its system. “1+1=2” offers a limited understanding, not a cosmic understanding.
With Axiom II understood, we move onto a greater Axiom:
Great trusts are relative, functioning as “motivations” vs. established knowns. (3)
Established knowns realize what happened. Great truths are forward looking. Still, an ethical business must maintain consistency if to maintain an engaged (”trusting”) sample set.
The weight of Axiom III must temper “great truths” / forward looking statements. That is not to say that no ethical company should plan.
Planing promotes stability. (4) Stability promotes trust. (5) Trust yields investment. (6) Investment continues work. (7) That is, Investment allows an organization to become sustainable.
Now, with that said, back to My Ethical Business.
Everyone deserves a basic income as quickly as possible.
